Pete Galayda quietly goes about trimming out and adding all the 'good stuff' to complete the paint job on this car. He has been replacing many of the signs, lights, etc on the ends, for example. Here, the sign from the Safety Commission has been restored and placed, as it was.

How did he do that? We arrived last Wednesday and the last of the hand painted lettering was done!

This Way, Folks

Pete Galayda must been sneaking out to work on the car when no one was looking. But the car body is now nearly done and looking better than it has for the last FIFTY YEARS. Good work Pete, and the hard working crew of helpers.

Here is some of the layout work in place to hand paint more of the lettering on this car. As when in service in Milwaukee, decals were used for the herald and numbers, and other lettering was hand painted.

East End

Here is the bright and sparkling east end with the last coat of paint having been applied on November 10. This substantially completes the painting on this car body, with the exception of some detailing and trim items. Headlight and stop light housings, ad boxes, etc.

caption referred to the two stored
CNW's as "our" equipment. Has the
ownership of these units changed to
